This is the validation notebook that displays the unit tests for the Assign WCS step in calwebb_image2 and calwebb_spec2. This notebook runs and displays the unit tests that are performed as a part of the normal software continuous integration process. For more information on the pipeline visit the links below.

JWST unit tests are located in the "tests" folder for each pipeline step within the GitHub repository, e.g., jwst/assign_wcs/tests.

Unit testing is a software testing method by which individual units of source code are tested to determine whether they are working sufficiently well. Unit tests do not require a separate data file; the test creates the necessary test data and parameters as a part of the test code.
Data used for unit tests is created on the fly within the test itself, and is typically an array in the expected format of JWST data with added metadata needed to run through the pipeline.
